Decarbonization
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
This paper highlights the effects of tax credits on business operations for midstream companies in the Permian Basin.
This paper introduces a field-deployable, trailer-mounted liquefaction system engineered to convert flared or stranded gas into low-carbon liquefied natural gas.

Equinor and partners Shell and Total have completed the drilling of a confirmation well south of the Troll field in the North Sea. The purpose of the well is to determine the suitability of the reservoir for carbon dioxide storage. -
Salk’s Harnessing Plants Initiative will receive a $12.5 million gift from Hess to advance two projects to enhance plants’ natural ability to store carbon and mitigate the effects of climate change: the CO2 Removal on a Planetary Scale (CRoPS) program and the Coastal Plant Restoration (CPR) program.

In the past, carbon capture and sequestration seemed to be going nowhere. Today, according to the Global CCS Institute, 19 large-scale commercial carbon capture and sequestration facilities are operating around the world, 10 of which are in the US.

Chevron Technology Ventures has joined a consortium in a $16-million investment in a company that provides portable carbon-capture technology.
-
A new study will identify the UK’s best sites and produce a roadmap for carbon storage to help the country reach its net zero targets, geologists say.
-
North Sea operators BP, Shell, and Total have begun an effort to fuel their platforms using sustainable power sources through a connection with Norway’s onshore power grid, which is driven almost wholly by renewable energy.
-
BP says it is firmly committed to achieving the ambitious target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years—even if that means producing less oil and gas.

In the US Energy Information Administration’s Annual Energy Outlook 2020 reference case, which assumes no new laws and regulations, US energy-related carbon dioxide emissions decrease through the early 2030s before increasing to 4.9 billion metric tons in 2050.
